My Mom HATES Star Wars
(watching Star Wars 3D release commercial)
Mom: Oh, my nightmare.

Mom: I still remember...my friend and I were on vacation and we went to see that movie and as soon as I saw "A galaxy far far away" scrolling down the screen I thought, "Oh my god. Get me the hell out of here."

Mom: I thought it was like STAR Wars, not Star Wars.
Me: Like Hollywood stars?
Mom: Yeah.
Me to self: Where did I come from?
